Please, Moogle, we've had a wholly unnecessary discussion because of that silly comment of Tom's already. Just let it rest.

You didn't answer the question AJ, what is Kvetch?

Yeesh, just joking.
xD I know as well as anybody.
And yeah, what is kvetch?

[Blood-Pigggy]

What I found...

kvetch \KVECH\, adjective:
1. To complain habitually.

noun:
1. A complaint.
2. A habitual complainer.


Lame.

[Moogle]

Somehow I don't think thats it....xD

[Blood-Pigggy]

That's what every single dictionary site says so far.

No idea. Tai came up with that one for the word filter, so I assumed it was an Americanism.

[Tom Henrik]

And stop spamming, you two. It's already filled up an entire page. If you are so interested, then PM Tai or something, but leave this topic clean.

[Henning]

I think the word was chosen because it resembles the word it's replacing phonetically.

EDIT by Beef: Removed badly-formatted filtered word. Replacing letters with things that look like them doesn't qualify as censoring...
EDIT by Grinder: My mistake. Still, I don't think you have to be so anal.

Greetings.

So I just started posting away without any thought to an introduction.  So let's get this out of the way shall we?

Born Florida, United States, late 20th century.  Left Florida in 1997.  Could possibly be tempted to move to Jacksonville if work would foot the bill, but I'm not holding my breath.

And now some simple yet descriptive declarations.

I am a workoholic.
I am a licensed private pilot (SEL although not current).
I am married.
I own the home in which I live (or I will in about 28 years).
I have a dog and a cat.
My cat is immortal and extends her life by defeating other ancient felines in single combat, taking the head of her combatant and with it, their power.  Really.
I hold a BA in East Asian Studies yet I work in IT Security so go figure.
I am not paranoid.  I am, in fact, merely realizing the threat before most everybody else  
I play too much World of Warcraft but Warhammer Online isn't out yet so what can a boy do?
I cannot survive without my iPod.  On random, thank you.
I rely too much on my BlackBerry and too little on my own mental faculties.
I despise my commute and dearly wish I could telework more frequently.
I despise providing value to somebody else's bottom line when I could be running my own shop....perhaps more on this at a later date.
I talk too damned much and listen too damn little.

So that's me.  Well, a quick sketch at any rate.  I'm sure more details will trickle forth in time.

You know what, I'dve been surprised if you'd been born in the 19th century, and we don't get many under-6s around here. Not that you'd know it sometimes...

Oh, and hello btw.

*steals your BA and your IT job*

I have my own immortal kitties, thank you.

And aren't you a little nervous that Jacksonville is a little too close to The Black Hole?

P.S. - To answer Moogle, "kvetch" is a yiddish alternative to the B-word. It means to complain, but also can be used as a noun. I've used it forever.

A learned friend once told me a Bachelor's degree is only useful in that it illustrates to an employer that you can commit to a multiyear project.  To that I would add, unless you attend one of about twenty schools in the US, it doesn't matter from whence you obtained it, so long as you did.  You're capable and will do so through sufficient application of will.  Of course, the alternative is to just blaze your own trail and give the finger to higher education.  Many a successful (regardless of your measure of success) individual never graced the halls of an institution of higher education.

As for Jax, well it IS rather close to the Twisting Nether of Central Florida and it is on the very vulnerable East Coast of FL.  It is a pretty nice beach town though.

Who doesn't know what kvetch means?
